e. No Indemnifying Party shall be liable under this Article VII in respect of any Loss that is contingent unless and until such contingent Loss becomes an actual liability and is due and payable.

Party intends to and does hereby become bound. No assignment shall relieve the assigning Party of any of its obligations hereunder.
Section 10.9 Amendment and Waiver. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by each of the Parties, or in the case of a waiver, by the Party against whom the waiver is to be effective. No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
Section 10.10 Governing Law; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
a.This Agreement, and all rights and remedies in connection therewith, shall be governed by, and construed under, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to otherwise governing principles of conflicts of law (whether of the State of Delaware or otherwise) that would result in the application of the Laws of any other jurisdiction; provided, however, that all disputes and controversies arising out of or relating to the Debt Financing or the Note Purchase Agreements or against the Debt Financing Sources shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the laws of any other jurisdiction that might be applied because of the conflicts of laws principles of the State of New York.
b.Each of the Parties irrevocably agrees that any legal action, proceeding or other Actions or matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby brought by any Party or its successors or assigns against any other Party shall be brought and determined in the Delaware Court of Chancery (or, if and only if the Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court located within the State of Delaware) and appellate courts thereof; provided, however, that any legal action, proceeding or other Actions or matters arising out of or relating to the Debt Financing or the Note Purchase Agreements shall be brought and determined in any New York state or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York (or, if such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, in any appropriate New York state or federal court). Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts for itself and with respect to its property (as applicable), generally and unconditionally, with regard to any such legal action, proceeding or other matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that any New York state or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York (or, if such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, in any appropriate New York state or federal court) shall be the exclusive jurisdiction for any legal action, proceeding or other matters involving, relating to, or arising from the Debt Financing or the Note Purchase Agreements or against the Debt Financing Sources. Each of the Parties agrees not to commence any action, suit or proceeding relating thereto except in the courts described above in Delaware (or New York, with respect to the Debt Financing or the Note Purchase Agreements or against the Debt Financing Sources), other than actions in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce any judgment, decree or award rendered by any such court in Delaware (or New York, with respect to the Debt Financing or the Note Purchase Agreements or against the Debt Financing Sources) as described herein. Each of the Parties further agrees that notice as provided herein shall constitute sufficient service of process



and the Parties further waive any argument that such service is insufficient. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, the Debt Financing or the Note Purchase Agreements or against the Debt Financing Sources, (x) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the courts in Delaware as described herein for any reason (or the courts in New York as described in the case of the Debt Financing or the Note Purchase Agreements or against the Debt Financing Sources), (y) that it or its property (as applicable) is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (z) that (i) the suit, action, or proceeding in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such suit, action, or proceeding is improper or (iii) this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, or the subject matter hereof, the Debt Financing or the Note Purchase Agreements may not be enforced in or by such courts.
c. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, THE DEBT FINANCING OR THE NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENTS. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF AN ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (ii) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (iii) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (iv) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.10.
Section 10.11 Specific Performance; Remedies. Each Party acknowledges that it shall be inadequate and impossible, or both, to measure in money the damage to each other Party, in the event that the Closing is not consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or if any Party fails to comply with the covenants and agreements herein, and in the event of any such failure, each Party shall not have an adequate remedy at law or in damages. Therefore, each Party agrees that any of the other Parties may seek an injunction or the enforcement of other equitable remedies against such Party at the suit of an aggrieved Party without the posting of any bond or security, to compel specific performance of the terms of this Agreement, and to the fullest extent permitted by Law, waives any defenses thereto, including the defenses of (a) failure of consideration, (b) breach of any other provision of this Agreement and (c) availability of relief in damages. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party agrees a Party may raise in response to any action for equitable relief that such Party contests the existence of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event will Intel Member or any of its Affiliates have any rights or claims, and will not seek any rights or claims against any Debt Financing Sources in connection with this Agreement or the Debt Financing.



Section 10.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (including via facsimile or email in .pdf format or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000 (e.g., www.docusign.com)), any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one Party, but all of such counterparts together shall constitute one agreement.
